Roland TD-9 Using the MIX IN

Using the MIX IN

By connecting a portable audio/CD player to the MIX IN jack you can play the TD-9 with your favorite songs.

You can connect other audio devices as well.

* Lower the volume of the TD-9 and your audio player before making connections.

* If a connection cable has built-in resistors, the volume level of the source connected to the TD-9 (MIX IN) may be too low. If this

occurs, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.

1. Start the music on your portable audio player.

* For details on how to use your audio player, refer to its owner’s manual.

2. Then adjust the volume.

Sounds received at the MIX IN jack are output from the OUTPUT and PHONES jacks.

* Adjust the volume on the audio player to get the right balance between it and the TD-9.
